Not sure if anyone has started an African Violet in semi-hydroponics but so far I have had good luck. I will keep everyone updated and if anyone has any suggestions on upkeep that would be great

I’ve always wanted to do this! Any tips?

I just took a new cutting and after putting it in water until it developed roots I placed it in the lica after the lica had been sitting in water for 24 hours

Leca

Wow! How long did it take?

#### Genice replied on 2025-03-15

Not long to grow the roots then planted into leca
